All of this is thanks to Stericson and his wonderful Application... Don't forget to follow him on twitter, add him to your latitude, and if at all possible buy the donate version of MetaMorph and NinjaMorph...
Reasoning for This ThreadThere are only a few morphs in our subforum and I would like that to grow... Any morphs you have tried or built that work with our device with no modifications should be posted here..
This is for morphs only... please refrain from off-topic posts, including questions... If you post a morph here please give as much detail as possible

Read Before Making A New Post in This Thread
In order to keep this thread clean and organized, please only make a post in this thread if you have a morph you would like to add to it.
For general discussion of the morphs in this thread please use this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7580581#post7580581.
Also, if you do post a morph in this thread, please follow some basic content that should be in your post. If you want to post more than one morph, then it is advised that you edit your post to contain multiple morphs so that the thread will stay more organized. If you need more than one post because you hit the text, image limit, or attachment limit then don't hesitate to make another to keep giving your contributions back to the community.
Example:
ROMs Compatible With
i.e. Stock/AOSP ROMs such as Cyanogen's, Enomther's, or MoDaCo's Nexus One ROMs
Desire ROMs
Any other ROM that doesn't fit the 2 above - a link to that ROM would be appreciated.
Also, if you have any .xml or .jar files included, then you should specify which exact ROMs that the morph will work on or was built using.
Version of MetaMorph Compatible With
Does your morph use a .thm or .xml file, or have you included both? This info needs to be placed in your morphs.
Screen Shot(s)
If you have some screen shots then it would be nice of you to post them. If you do post a screen shot, and you have extra content not included in your morph visible in the screen shot, then it would be a good idea to point that out.
What is this?
You can put a description of what your morph is and what it changes so that people will be better informed of what to expect from your morph or so that they can know if something goes wrong with your morph.
Download(s)
This is where you place your links or let people know that your morphs are attached to your post.
That covers it for basic information that you should add to your post though you can post as much information as you want to about your morph and are encouraged to.
If you have more than one morph in your post, then just separate each morph with a clear title for each morph. An example of this will be my post below.
If you are lazy like me and have a lot of morphs you want to do, then you can copy and paste the following

How to Apply Morphs
Step 1
Download MetaMorph from the Market.
Step 2
Download the MetaMorph file of your choice and place it on your sdcard. I have a folder on my sdcard called "morphs" where I place all of my metamorph files.
Step 3
Open the MetaMorph app, select always allow, then press allow. Select Pick theme. Go to the folder where you put your metamorph files and select the one you want to apply.
Step 4
If you want to apply everything in the morph, then select apply all. MetaMorph will then begin to run through the process of applying the images to your .apk's. This will take a while if there are a lot of .apk's to be skinned.
Step 5
Once MetaMorph has gone through the process of applying the theme, You are done. Unless you applied a morph which has framework-res.apk in it, then you will have to reboot your phone, then you are done.
F.A.Q.sDoes my phone need to be rooted?
Yes
Should I nandroid before applying any of these?
Yes, if you are uncomfortable with applying morphs or think there is a chance you may want to easily revert back to what you previously had.
Do I have to give credit if I use post any work that I borrowed/kanged from someone else?
It is considered a professional courtesy to credit where you got any work that you didn't make yourself, so yes, unless the author has EXPLICITLY stated that he or she doesn't care, even then you should.
Do I have to reboot?
If the morph you applied modified any .jar files or modified framework-res.apk
My widgets are messed up on my homescreen!?!
This happens any time you apply a morph that includes Launcher2.apk/Launcher.apk (if you use it). Just remove them and reset them.
Why should I care about using morphs or Metamorph?
If you have a desire to change the visual appeal or aesthetics of your phone, then you should look into Metamorph
.xml or .thm file?
.xml is the new way that Metamorph is told what to do. It is was introduced in 1.9.7 (I think, I know it is in 1.9.8). .thm is only supported in the free 1.9.4 version of Metamorph. If you place both a .thm and a .xml file in your morph than it should work with either version. Eventually all morphs will need to be updated with a .xml file to work.
DisclaimerYou are responsible for your phone and anything you do to it. Do not apply any of these unless you are willing to take full responsibility for anything that could go wrong as a result. Always remember, when in doubt, nandroid.

THEME METRO 1.0 *Assembled by Quest
This is a beautiful mix of themes that I find work well. It started months ago with 2.1 as a personal endeavor but now I feel I would like to share.
***\ I am going to start this off by first saying that at least 90% of the elements of this theme were originally created by someone else. More than likely a highly skilled designer or developer. I am not posting this for any credit other than a thanks for the months of picking, choosing, creatively using things in place of other things, swapping and trial and error, or maybe a "Hey that dude has good taste in mixing and matching". I made this theme for myself and although I know tastes very, I think these parts fit nicely on the Galaxy S and really show off the SuperAMOLED screen. I have also tried to accentuate Touch-Wiz rather than demolish it. That shows in my notification bar in sticking with the blue/black. I have added a bit of gray to the mix also. I'll try to reference all the great themes I have used but if I forgot someone please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due. Enjoy./***
What's Included:
Metamorph themes for-
Settings.apk -changes icons to high-res color glossy.
MediaProvider.apk -changes the media scanner running icon only.
Browser.apk -makes address bar glossy black as well as a couple other mods.
Phone.apk -color matches touch-wiz now with some green swapped for blue
framework-res.apk -mish-mash of many different drawables.
twframework-res.apk some new drawables and adds blue droid to pulldown, carbon-look and glossy
quick panel icons.
*What's Missing: You may notice my desktop icons match well but they are NOT a part of this theme, they are from an ADW theme called Theme for Sense by Johnny Bueno. It's a paid app, well worth the buck fifty and super nice, the launcher is more than likely your most used app and you have to look at it constantly so why be stingy on it's looks right? highly recommended.
What you need:
1) A Galaxy S Phone
(this is done on the Vibrant, I don't see why it shouldn't work on the others but I have not tried it. Always make a backup in case it doesn't play nicely) I've done this theme on all the froyo ROMS from Eugene, TW and Master.
2) [APP] METAMORPH this is an application made by one of the great devs at XDA developers named Stericson. It actually replaces the drawables and/or XML files within the framework or other system applications without creating a "skin" or overlay that would otherwise slow the system down as other theming methods do. I'll explain how to do this briefly but here is a link to everything you need to know about this method: Vibrant Morph Thread.
3) ROOT ACCESS This one is easy. If you don't know what this means, you don't have root access.
Ok now that the prerequisites are defined, I'll add one caveat: This theme applies to different parts of the phone each one you apply individually. If your not using a custom ROM that has a DeODEXed system/app the Browser.apk and Settings.apk may not apply properly. So if you're not using a custom ROM,be forewarned that the browser and settings might not work. Worse case scenario you might have to do Nandroid restore.
Instructions:
Okay let's get on to the meat of it. First download the Morph from my Dropbox Here:
DOWNLOAD [THEME]Metro.zip
1) Make sure you have USB debugging turned on in Settings -we're not using ADB it just needs to be on.
2) Once you have the .zip file someplace on your phone, open Metamorph and allow it to finish running checks.
3) Next select Unzip/Extract new theme and navigate to the Metro.zip file on your sdcard.
Once you select it, it will automatically begin extracting the files. may take a few minutes.
When It's finished, you may get an error message that the theme is invalid, just ignore this as it is only due to the way the file was zipped. If this happens just reopen Metamorph and select Pick existing theme.
4) Click on the Metro.xml file it's highlighted with a giant green "M" next to it.
Select "close"
5) Now select each subTheme individually and click "Apply it" starting with "Phone.apk", when it's done do the same for "Settings.apk", then "Browser.apk" then STOP!
6) *For MediaProvider.apk make sure you have ADB handy to reboot, or you may have to pull the battery because after the theme applies, it will force close repeatedly untill you reboot the phone. I don't recommend pulling the battery if it can be avoided you could lose or corrupt data. Once phone reboots move on to step 7.
7) This next part is crucial. most problems are because this last part wasn't done right. select "twframework-res.apk" next, even though it's last on the list, and select "Apply it!". It should go without a hitch. If your phone reboots thats ok, Chances are all the drawables were applied but if not apply it a second time.
8)Reboot
9) Select "framework-res.apk", select "Apply It!, continue past the second warning. Most likely your phone will reboot this time on it's own. Sometimes this happens before all the files are updated. After phone boots up, I ALWAYS do this twice to be sure all the drawables are swapped.
10)Reboot and Enjoy.
It's many reboots but this is the best way to ensure all the themed files are written.
I want to thank with much love and respect the great devs and designers who put there heart and soul into these designs.
-Thanks hacku -droid in notification pulldown
-Big thanks to dena994 for this insane theme i used extensively :ANDRODeNa GaLaSSiA
-Thanks to Master Ive used a bit of Axura, a georgeously themed ROM.
-Thanks to Eugene373, not so much for the couple drawables I borrowed but more for the great kernel and ROM work that he does also.
-Thanks to Team Whiskey, for the Obsidian base that this theme started on, as well as the great ROMS and kernels those guys do.
-Thanks To all the great developers that make Android such a great community.

Click to collapse
You can flash the settings by Itself but unfortunatly the only thing that will change is the icons. That is because the contuored background is part of the framework. Any app that uses Android's ListView would also display with that background. If you only want the icons, you can use MetaMorph and after you select the xml file and hit "Close" just select the Settings.apk, apply it and reboot. as for a flashable .zip, I will try to put one together for the entire theme. I have not tried it with Nero but it should work just fine
Nero beta 3
Well I just tried it on nero.no luck.strange it's the first rom I couldn't theme.
Here is a MOD for the progress bar color to be blue instead of green. I was pulling my hair out over this but came to an odd conclusion, read the rest of the posts on my findings. If any of you are experienced using XML Editors like HxD Hex Editor I think we could use an tutorial on how to do this right.
I'm running Nero v5 KA5, but I see no reason this would not work any other ROM. Enjoy.
I'm new with tutorials so please be easy and Nandroid before doing this. I'm not responsible if anything happens to your phone. So I believe the reasonable way to apply this is with Android ADB
Android ADB
1.Pull your "progress_horizontal.xml" file from system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable
2.Unzip the file and save it somewhere reliable
3.Locate and push the new "progress_horizontal.xml" file
4.Reboot after you close ADB
I apologize if I got any of that wrong, but that should do it. If I missed some steps please let me know and I'll update the OP. Thanks.
Ninjamorph
Now if you have Ninjamorph like me :
1. Open Ninjamorph and click "Start Checks", it looks for Busybox. (You need Busybox installed, if you don't have it download Titanium Backup and follow the instructions, it will download Busybox for you)
2. Next were going to open framework-res.apk, if you have this project already opened skip to step 4. Click "New Project".
3. Go to system/framework/framework-res.apk, then Ninjamorph will extract it and put it in a new folder on your internal sd card called: AnroidThemes/workspace
4. Go into your internal sd card with your PC or Root Explorer and look for this file sdcard/AndroidThemes/workspace/framework-resapk/res/drawable and delete your "progress_horizontal.xml" file.
5. Unzip and place your new "progress_horizontal.xml" file in the same folder
6. Exit Root Explorer or safely disconnect your PC, then go back into Ninjamorph.
7. Click "Finish Project", select frameworkapk. It will ask you some questions, read them carefully and apply the the project. Suggestion, click "No" on the 2nd question.
8. Reboot, your done!
Metamorph
1. unzip file and place folder in /sdcard/AndroidThemes
2. open metamorph, "pick existing theme"
3. locate BlueProgressBar folder, and apply .xml
4. BE PATIENT UPON REBOOT ~ courtesy of TopShelf10
I don't take full credit for this, I got alot of help and info from:
-s0niqu3
-TopShelf10
-biigreen
-Team Whiskey
Thanks everybody!

I'm trying to figure out which ROM or Theme has a blue progress bar, I remember having it but can't remember what I installed on my phone that had it. Anyone know?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i do believe that some of the Bionix ROMs for 2.1 had it. I was running Fusion1.1 for a while and it had it......ill pull the framework and see what i can find, cause now that you mention it, id like it too
looks like an .xml edit.....ill do some research
Thanks, I believe it is the progress_horizontal.xml file.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It's "progressbar-horizontal.xml" in /res/drawable
I decompiled the .xml last night, but it has a lot of color codes in it, and im not sure which ones do which. for example, i tried changing all of them to blue, but then it was no longer a progress bar, just bar that remained blue. derr haha
you are best off figuring out which ROM you got it from in the meantime....it would also be great of you could share it too, if you find it
No problem, I also need to ask Samcrow and camalot aswell, but this theme I'm putting together is a combo of voltage, black froyo, and ginger blue. Is that ok with you?
EDIT: Little more info in this thread

So I gave up temporarily on my search for the blue progress (frustrating ) and tried to create it myself with HxD Hex Editor. When I thought I made a blue progress bar it actually came out orange! Lol. So I figured out that I forget to edit some other colors, after that I don't know what I did wrong but when I finished I applied my alteration with Ninjamorph and bricked my phone......sigh. So at least I'm learning . I keep updating my progress until I nail this thing.

i can give the colorvalue code for blue........the best way to do it is to decompile the .xml, change the hex values with a simple text editor, and then recompile
its very simple, i just dont know which values to change in order for the progress bar to visually function properly

I have the color codes, I use www.colorpicker.com for that. As for the progress bar it's "08 00 00 1C". There's three of these. The first set is the background for the progress bar, the next two sets are the color for the progress bar. I think I accidentally changed something else in the file which through my phone in a boot loop. Thanks man, I appreciate your help on this. No homo though , lol.

Damn, I knew I screwed up somewhere.
here is the value #ff00a8ff
i applied this to the .xml, and it worked, but i edited the wrong values so it was just a solid blue bar that didnt do anything......heres an example of the color in the screenshot below, because i edited an. xml with this value for one of my themes. its the color of the notification SUBTEXT (like where it says "Select to disable USB debugging.")
Yeah, your voltage theme is the ****.

Gottcha. I got most of my info from this Team Whiskey link. Check it out, they talk about the value of the progress bar. In the mean time I while keep trying HxD Editor.
How do I make the Clock Background Transparent. Id really like to learn how to do some of this.. High level steps would be sufficient. Thanks
This is what I'm wanting rid of.
Id also like to know how to change the Font Color If possible as well.

I have a bunch of clocks without the background and different digit font and colors on my thread. Flip and non flip... and I take requests also. I don't have the link Cuz I'm on my phone, but just do a search for stoney 666 or bad seed customs here in the apps and themes forum. Or the clock link on my sig. Different thread but same clocks.

So i found one i liked and installed it.. But now nothing works.. None of the HTC Widgets will Work. and I cannot Long Press on the screen to put widgets on the screen.
And When I use the menu and goto personalize and browse for htc widgets rosie force closes.
Im trying to install the StockWhite .. I thought I had a 4x5 Setup. But Im going ahead an trying the non 4x5 to see if that fixes it.
You just need to change one image in drawable-hdpi its the first image if your looking at it in alphabetical order. Either use to program to make it transparent or find a clock that already has a transparent background and just copy that in to the apk then push it back to your phone.

The older clock widgets don't work properly on the new framework found on the ThunderBolt, which is why I haven't made all of my clocks available by saying they were compatible yet.
What you want to do is take a look at the htcclockwidget.apk using 7zip.
You can download my restore for Tbolt in my themes thread here in the Tbolt section.
Download it twice. Use one as your main backup, and one as your mod test.
The one we are going to use as your mod test, we are going to open up using 7zip, open the .zip until you get to system/app/ the apk is in this folder. Open the .apk in 7zip and this is the graphic we want to replace, "clock_add_weather_base.png" it will be located in this location: (see attachment)
All you gotta do is either right click and do "open outside" do what you want with the graphic or just replace it with a opacity of ZERO and the background will be gone.
To make it easier, I have included the transparent graphic. Just drag and drop into the same window shown in the attachment photo, and 7zip will ask to update, click yes. click all the way back until your out of the .zip. and then your done, use the .zip to install via clockworkmod recovery and boom, its gone!
Your welcome
P.S. Here's a .zip update instead if all that is too complicated.
Just copy this to the SD card, reboot into recovery, mount your system first, and do install from sd card. and then once its done, reboot.

OK so Now I have a few questions lol
So I made some changes and such as described above. And Installed the Zip via clockwork.. says it installed
But I still have the same clock? so I deleted it and put it back and its still there with none of the changes. Not even the change you put in for the transparent background.
what Did I do wrong?
** Oh and I also tried it with no changes at all just the zip you provided incase i did something wrong.. and it still doesn't show?
----
Opps I Figured it out.. i wasnt Mounting the /system before installing Works great now haha My bad.
OK here is my home screen. My next question is how do I change the font color on the clock widget. And is it possible to make the weather smaller?

decompiling... done
OK So Ive learned how to use apktool
Done.. got it all de-compiled..
But now what do I edit to do what im wanting. there are so many xml file.. guess its just a hunt to find? and trial and error to know whats what?
How do you make the clocks white background with the numbers transparent? I would just like to have a white outline and text for the flip clock?
I tried the zip a couple times on BAMF 1.4 and BAMF demix and it doesn't change my clock, no transparent clock... I dunno why.

Disclaimer zero: I assume no responsibility for any damage to your device as a direct or indirect result of using these files. You should not flash anything from anyone, unless you know what you're doing and have some way of going back to the way things were.
In essence: Please take the time to understand what software-version you're on and what you're flashing over it. In particular please be aware, that if you flash a Mod for a stock, odexed ROM over a deodexed ROM like BroodComb or vice versa, bad things will happen.
Also if you flash a 3G XWKG9 Mod over a WiFi UEKME ROM, or vice versa, bad things will happen. You get the picture...if you don't, don't blame me
Downloads
Search the thread or the download section of my website. Fortunately I've been quite meticulous about keeping 3G and WiFi builds apart
"What's done?"
- Wi-Fi icons
- Signal icons w/ connection types
- Quickpanel icons
- Battery icons w/ 1% increments
- Battery % text label removed from quickpanel, as having battery % icons and battery % text seems redundant.
- Back/Home/Recent/Menu/Screenshot changed to desaturated stock.
- Various color adjustments
- AOSP (=lockscreen) clock implemented and color adjusted.
"What isn't done...?"
- Nothing really, except constant reorganizing to keep up with the glorious, evolving mess that is Samsung's progress toward a seemingly unified framework ressource across all remotely similar devices.
"Can you make this work on (...) ?"
I can typically build on any unmodified framework, but I need the following files...
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
You can pull them via adb if it's a stock ROM or extract them from the ROM.zip, if it's a CWM flashable.
The technical specifics of how to install the SDK, set up adb and so on are outside the scope of this thread
Disclaimer one: I typically won't build for individual users' frameworks, unless special circumstances apply. I have a family and a fulltime++ job to take care of too
I think it looks great, haven't rooted yet though. Only a matter of time.
This looks awesome man! Downloading Now!!
Dude this looks awesome. You should get together with Task650 when he gets back from doing life stuff. I would love to see this on his deodexed UKEME ROM (Which I currently run). Plus I think your two themeing minds could put out some mind bending stuff.
Really like that, any chance for kmb?

I guess. I need zee files - and a link to the ROM they're for (mostly to see if they're odexed or deodexed)
/system/app/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk
/system/framework/twframework-res.apk
You can get them via adb pull or by extracting them from your ROM's flashable zip, if it's a CWM-rom.
This sort of mishap could actually be easily avoided, if I could just build a backup routine into my install script to do something like this
(pseudo code)
Mount system
Mount sdcard
check if backupfiles exist:
sdcard/circlesmodbackup/SystemUI.apk
sdcard/circlesmodbackup/framework-res.apk
- if yes, restore to /system/app/SystemUI.apk and /system/framework/framework-res.apk
- if no, back up ...
/system/app/SystemUI.apk to sdcard/circlesmodbackup/SystemUI.apk
/system/framework/framework-res.apk to sdcard/circlesmodbackup/framework-res.apk
... and flash my Mod.
I just can't find a comprehensive Edify reference guide anywhere.
awesome. Is that possible just to have the battery percentage ...
Um can you please make this flashable for people on rooted, deodexed ROMs like Caulkins, etc...
Please? I would use it in a heartbeat.

Isn't it best to use the latest ROM out there for the GT7510? UEKME is newer than UEKMB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227800
To suit everyone's tastes, I guess you would want to use the stock one, without any theming already done to it, but how can this be incorporated into the combination of Task650's UEKME and his Fire Glow theme from this thread? Personally, that's what I'm using and like it a lot, but the battery icon only works in the Fire Glow when unplugged - when charging, it goes back to the factory blue. Also, have you had any luck theming the Touchwiz themed clock on the taskbar? That's apparently a really difficult issue for those who have tried so far and it definitely doesn't look complete without that being done as well....
thanks for your help with this, still very excited for the outcome!

It would be great if it could be flashed for both, since people may or may not want that green glow theme and launcher changes that come with task's ROM. Can't you prepare a flashable zip to theme over any of these?
And would there be any way to also have the task bar be the black version among your other PNG circle changes? Would be PERFECT.
task's rom is awesome. i use it with hc stock rom provided by task in his theme thread.
it would be nice to see circles mod for task's rom!
Port this to Doc's ROM and make the bar black instead of gray and it'll be perfect make sure it doesn't have that gray line at the top of the status bar, some mods made it black with a gray line over it. The Bar Mods here are good, especially the last one. Try something like that? Good work

I gave it a shot but came across issues with Task650's KME. I downloaded the "Customized & Tweaked" version and made my changes, but SystemUI.apk wouldn't compile, reporting multiple nine patch errors.
At first I assumed I had f*'d something up, but at a second glance there are several instances of bad image ressources. Like a bunch of invalid or 0-byte .9's and instances of the same ressource being present as both .png and .9.png (at which point compile most certainly would fail).
Bottom line is that if I decompile SystemUI.apk and compile it right back without any changes, it should work, but it fails, and there isn't anything (within reason ) I can do about that.
I can't do a hack'n'slash job with WinZip, because I need the decompiled xml in SystemUI.apk to change a few icon sizes and stuff like that, so...no luck
Hello community!
Intro:
You may not know it, but Samsung(and maybe every popular Android phone manufacturers) has a ready-to-use Light theme "pre-installed" in our devices, not only the Galaxy S Advance of course, this theme probably exists in every latest firmware for Galaxies from Samsung, including Galaxy SIII, Galaxy S2 and many more I guess, the Galaxy S4 is not an exception, which also comes in the Light version already set. I found a way to switch in this light version, and it's VERY easy. Maybe newbie-friendly too. Ok maybe not so easy but it still is as simple as adding a word. Literally, it's only adding a word! Read the "Notes:" sections at the end of the post before doing anything.
Getting to the point:
These themes exist in the framework-res.apk, specifically, in the /res/values/styles.xml
You will find different themes in there including Google's "Holo(.Dark)" and "Holo.Light". These are the basic ones, which will be used by almost every application that does NOT have it's own skin, so these applications will use the either Holo(Dark) or Holo Light.
There are three(I think) more basic themes in there including the stock Android, this one is based on Gingerbread I guess.
The other two are the Device Default and Device Default Light. These two are the ones that a manufacturer, like Samsung, can edit to give it's devices a custom and unique style.
A stock application that comes pre-installed in the software(Like SecSettings.apk, MusicPlayer.apk e.t.c.) will probably use either the Device Default or Device Default Light. This is up to the manufacturer to choose. In our case, Samsung has set most of it's applications to use the Device Default.
A small "What I am talking about":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How to set the Light theme to an application:
Requirements:
The application which you want to change it's theme. (I will use SecSettings.apk as an example)
apk-tool (I use APK Multi-Tool because it's very easy to use)
Notepad++
Know how to decompile/recompile
Instructions:
Decompile the .apk.
Go to "/res/values/" folder and open the file "styles.xml" with Notepad++.
Click "Find" or press "Ctrl+F".
In the "Find What :" box enter "DeviceDefault" and hit next.
Check the first result you get, mine was this:
Now, copy this ".Light" (without the "), this is the magic word!
You will paste this exactly after every "[email protected]*android:style/blabla.DeviceDefault
Like the image below:
Even if there is something after the DeviceDefault like this:
You will still paste the ".Light" exactly after the DeviceDefault like the image below:
Make sure to paste it ONLY in "parent=" lines, and in EVERY "parent=" lines. There are exceptions though, based on the .app. But don't get confused, even if you make a mistake, will be able to find it and fix it later. For now just continue the "paste" process.
Once you have finished the "paste" process, save the file and overwrite the old one.
Recompile the .apk.
That's it! Copy the .apk on your phone, place it where it belongs and set the right permissions.
Reboot, open the application, and take a taste of a light UI that your phone's manufacturer had hidden from you.
Notes:
1. I don't even know if other manufacturers like Sony do this too. If yes, then this tutorial will work for these phones too, probably.
2. Don't try this on framework-res.apk. framework-res.apk can be used too for you to change your theme to Light, but it will probably cause many graphical errors. And it also requires a different way to change the theme. I have tried it and got both good and bad results, check the second post for more information.
3. If you tried and had any errors I could use a hand, just post your compile log and myself and maybe some other people will help you if we can.
4. Modifying the framework-res.apk in a proper way will allow every stock application to be themed without having someone to edit them. Again check the second post.
5. If you find something confusing you can freely ask by posting here.
6. I am not sure about everything that I say in the "Intro:" section. It's just my theory, excuse me if I'm wrong.
7. These themes are the main reason(probably ) for the apps to have both "holo_dark" and "holo_light" variants of .png files and colors. People who have edited SystemUI.apk's and framework-res.apk's "drawable-" folders will understand what I am saying.
Here is a modded framework-res.apk, with this I managed to theme almost every stock Samsung application without editing anything except the framework-res.apk.
I am totally sure that I changed some things without thinking first. The styles.xml is big and I almost got lost. I did everything I could for now, I'm sorry.
You can flash it only on LQB firmwares, maybe only some of them. Check the screenshots to see what I have managed so far. Expect MANY UI bugs.
P.S. It's just for you to see how a Light theme would look. Don't complain about bugs on this, please.
Light Framework
Screenshots:
Great job, Koulis!
Well done!! :good:. Must have taken you quiet some time to find how to do it. :good: :good: :good:
Still people need to understand that this won't magically invert the theme to white... You'll still get loads of UI bugs, which you of course, must fix manually.

I just have one note, to make this much much easier...
When pressing Ctrl+F go the replace tab and on the find space type "DeviceDefault" and on the replace space type "DeviceDefault.Light"... Then press replace all... This should replace everything in one click, I guess.

Really useful.
I followed your steps and compiled & decompiled using VTS software. (http://www.virtuous-ten-studio.com/).
Absolutely NO ERROS before after compilation.
After copying the file to /system/app with ROOT EXPLORER (with proper permissions),
When I click SETTINGS ICON - I get a message saying "Apk N't installed".
What could be the reason - any idea???

Did you copy the META-INF and AndroidManifest.xml from the original apk to the new compiled in dist? AFAIK is it like signing. When you try to install by hand do you get a parsing error?

Thanks for the reply!
As you can see from the enclosed screenshots - no problem with the compilation and signing.
VTS is taking care of the same.
What I'm trying to do is copy framework-res.apk, systemui.apk and settings.apk from different custom ROM to current ROM.
No problem in copying and overwriting the original files of current ROM.
TAB works fine.
NO FC's.
Only thing is I'm trying to change LIGHT theme of secsettings.apk to DARK theme.
Either I get APK n't installed or FC (SystemUI.apk etc).
Again If I replace secsettings.apk from CUSTOM ROM to current ROM - works fine. NO FC's.
Might be I need to dig deeper....
